Note the scale 0 to 8, Zero being "No Government" and Eight being complete "Tyranny".
We should be fluctuating between Two and Four at the most, we started out as a Three! Now we are a 5/6 and headed full speed to Seven. Both Wings are digging in and they both are setting up our country for some seriously bad times to come.

Definitions:
Totalitarianism - The Central Government or " the state" is the ultimate authority and source of all personal rights, it's citizens are obliged to work and conduct themselves for the good of the state. All commerce is controlled by the state. Self-determination and personal wealth accumulation by individuals is not allowed.
Communism and Fascism are basically the same thing, Totalitarianism from either "Wing".
Socialism and Ultra-Religious Right are both softer forms of Totalitarianism, they usually derive their authority from a charismatic philosophy(ie; Progressivism) or fundamentalist religion, both are based on the assumption that citizens are incapable of taking care of themselves, can't distinguish the difference between right and wrong, and that it is necessary for the state to dictate most aspects of daily living.
Liberalism and Social Conservatism are both political strategies to appeal to citizens that consider themselves as disaffected complainants of the status quo. These movements are targeted at uniting special interest groups by addressing pet marginal issues. These people seek government intervention to correct perceived social wrongs. Classic "Us verses Them" politics.
Democrat Moderatism and Moderate Conservatism are similar in that they both attempt to appeal to the general populace or the masses. Their positions on issues are usually the least offensive to the majority at the time, for the sole purpose of winning elections. They seek political power by being perceived as those who are tolerant of wide variations of views and are willing to fund programs with goverment monies instead of allowing the private sector to determine the potental value of such programs through private investment.
Neo-conservatives are the descendant movement of former leftists/Liberals who view Liberalism as a noble, but failed, philosophy of national politics, they view democracy as a system that must be promoted internationally, even by force if necessary. They are open to a New World Order and international intervention.
In contrast, Paleo-conservatives, believe in a close reading of the Constitution and legal precedent. They are vigilant regarding individual rights, the rule-of-law, national sovereignty and tend toward isolation regarding international affairs.
Constitutional Libertarianism is the position that government intervention in a citizens personal life and the national economy is not in keeping with the constitution's intent and that the power of state and the role of government needs to be scaled back to what the country's founding documents literally and originally allow and nothing more.
Federalism and Anti-federalism refers to the struggle prior to the constitution being radified in 1788, in which the individual former colonies now united states determined the role of a central government and the role left to the individual states. The range of involvement spanning a strong federation to loose association to virtual anarchy.
Anarchy is the lack of any cohesive government and the total lack of community.
